Sink repairs are very common due to the hard usage that sinks have to endure. Glass bottles, pots, and pans are common culprits of chips and cracks on sink surfaces. Harsh cleaners and soaps can erode the shiny surface of your sink, making it harder to clean and causing dirt to stick. With years of experience repairing sinks, I also offer full sink restorations through resurfacing. I perform all repairs at your location, and most sink repairs are completed within 1-2 hours. Once the repair is completed, your sink will be ready to use again in 24 hours, saving you time and money. This is the most economical option for making your sink look new again without the expense of replacement. My repairs come with a 12-month warranty, and I’m fully insured. It won’t take long before your sink looks brand new again!
One of the most important parts of a great sink repair is to accurately colour match the new enamel paint to your existing sink. This process must be done by eye on the day of your repair, mixing various tinters into the standard white enamel paint until I get an exact match to your sink. The repair will be obvious if the new paint doesn’t match your sink perfectly. I’ve refined this specialised skill over many years of experience. While sinks are generally white, the exact shade of white can differ greatly. Manufacturers use varying shades of white, and the sink’s age, usage, and exposure to chemicals or sunlight will affect its shade. I have to be very careful to get an accurate colour match whenever I do repairs. If you choose to have your whole sink resurfaced, I will spray it with a new brilliant white so it looks brand new again.
The materials I use are high-quality and not available in your typical DIY store. The bonder and enamel paint I use are the best quality, ensuring that all repairs are durable and long-lasting. Since I’ve been using the same materials for years, I can trust that they create lasting, high-quality repairs every time. Some other companies cut corners by using cheaper materials, but this could lead to repairs failing and poor results. Every repair I do comes with a 12-month guarantee, unless stated otherwise.
When repairing a sink, the first thing I do is apply a special bonder to the damaged area before filling it in. I colour match the paint to your sink, then apply a second layer of bonder before spraying the enamel. I use a fine spray gun to apply the new surface, which ensures the repair blends seamlessly.
Whenever I encounter damage on a sink, I have to make sure I know how bad the damage is so I can determine the best way to fix it. In cases of minor chips or scratches, I can perform a quick chip repair that usually takes around 1-2 hours. If the damage is greater and covers a larger area of the sink, it would be best to resurface the whole sink. In the case of a large crack or hole, I can still perform a repair, but I may advise replacing the sink due to possible structural damage. In this case, any repair I do will not come with a guarantee. However, this is a worst-case situation.
The average sink repair takes only 1-2 hours. It’s far quicker than the process of removing and replacing your sink. If you opt for a sink resurfacing, this will take me a full day to complete, due to the need to mask off the area for protection. Even so, this is still much faster and more affordable than replacing your sink. I have done a lot of work restoring antique sinks to look brand new again by resurfacing them. Antique sinks typically feature intricate detailing that is not found on most modern sinks. If you have a sink that needs saving, I can help you.
All of my repairs are done to a very high standard, and this is defined by creating a repair that will last and is not noticeable with normal usage. If you were to shine a torch over the surface, you might notice something, but this isn't something you'd typically do while using your sink. No reputable repair company will promise you an invisible repair, so be wary of any companies that do, because they probably won’t be in business for long.
By repairing your sink rather than replacing it, you'll save time, money, and reduce your environmental impact. When you repair and restore your sink, you’ll avoid contributing more waste to your local landfill.
I’ve been asked by customers if DIY Repair Kits are a good option for repairing their sinks. DIY Repair Kits use low-quality materials, so the repair is unlikely to last long. It’s hard to achieve a true colour match with the basic tinter that’s supplied in these kits. If you want to try it yourself, that’s fine, but I’ll be here for a professional repair when you ask.
How long will a sink repair last?
I guarantee all my sink repairs for 12 months. Repairs are designed to last as long as the sink itself, and if a failure occurs, it will happen within the first 12 months. In cases of structural or extensive damage, I can’t provide a guarantee, but I’ll make sure to let you know before proceeding. When this happens, I usually recommend replacing the sink, but if you want to keep your original sink, we can still help you repair it.
